Re: Can someone help me!! I am no where as intelligent as some of the others on this CLUG but I just had a problem something like this on my eeepc 700 series. I am running easy peasy and it just wouldn't boot. It would hang half way through. A good friend said that it might be just a bad secter on my solid state hdd. He told me to run from super user on a terminal the following; either su fsck /dev/sda1 or su fsck -a /dev/sda1 in my case I didn't need the su part but I did need to boot from a external cd drive with knoppix and go into the terminal with the # sign I think its called a hash mark. I did the first part of fsck /dev/sda1 and that took a while and than I did the second part of fsck -a /dev/sda1 that was quick than booted and all was fine. The sda1 part was the assigned drive address that the computer gave my drive yours might be different. Please ask some of the other smart guys on this site if this might work as I am in no way a tech of any sort. Just trying to help.

Also, can you double check that your USB drive works on other machines if you have any available to you? -Dafydd sean halter wrote: > I am running an ASUS EEE 1000 with EasyPeasy 1.1. > For some reason the OS has become corrupted and I when I try to do an > install from the boot USB it will not recognise recognize the USB dirve. > I have a presentation to do on the weekend and I need this computer!! > > HELP!! > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > clug-talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca > Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) > **Please remove these lines when replying ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:46:29 -0600 From: sean halter <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [clug-talk] Can someone help me!! To: CLUG General <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Yes, I had the usb drive working, the issue seems to be mounting the drives. I don't know how to mount and unmount the drives, it just seems to do it on its own. But, when the drive is mounted then it does not want to recognize it in the BIOS. That is why I am starting to freak out and I am wondering if there is anyone I can just pay to fix this!!!
